i joined this site because i think im depressed. i havent been formally diagnosed with depression, though. the only thing ive been diagnosed with was generalized anxiety disorder as a child. i was on many medications (antipsychotics, antidepressants, adhd meds, etc.) for almost 2 years. it didnt help my depression, but just made me feel numb. now i feel no joy at all. i am bored all of the time, have the inability to cry at all unless i force myself to cry and thats the only thing that makes me slightly happy. i have no emotions and dont care about anyone. just feel like my life sucks. i dont have any friends and have no confidence. i worry everyday about apocolypse, death, illness, and many other things. a constant overhang of dread for years. my brain feels less sharp than it used to be and i just feel bored, anxious, lethargic, and tired all day. i overthink things way too much where i cant live my life because im stuck thinking about everything too much, including stuff around me. i have a tendency to be rigid living. i go to therapy but it doesnt work because the therapist doesnt understand the stuff im saying. i was also told im too tough to help before. i havent been happy since i was a young kid. my life doesnt seem to be looking up.

I am so sorry for what you're going through - I know first-hand that it's not easy to get through it. Please be kind to yourself. My advice would be to try and do something every day.
